Imagine seeing a village, a town, a hamlet through the eyes of those who live there, while you wander the streets of off -the-main-road villages that are not on the top 10 sites that every tourist visits to take a selfie, but are real and thriving everyday life. Local markets, boutique shops and gourmet restaurants where the locals gather. Have you ever heard of a touring company giving the option to alter the itinerary to suit the needs of the small group? Probably not. But Artistic Gourmet Adventures can do just that because YOU are the most important part of the equation!

April is the perfect time to see Paris. There is an added excitement in the air as Parisians shed their winter cocoons and step out into the long awaited sunlight.

Every person, every street, every building has a story to tell of the glorious and not so glorious histories of one of the Europe’s oldest cities.
